GARIBALDI TO SERVE
ON NACUBO BOARD; NAMED KNIGHT OF ST. GREGORY
Gannon University President
Antoine M. Garibaldi, Ph.D., has been appointed to the Board of Directors
of the National Association of
College and University Business Officers (NACUBO).
Garibaldi will serve an
initial three-year term and also will sit on the board’s external
relations committee.
He recently participated in
his first board meetings earlier this month.
“Your work on the board and on the committee will help sustain and enhance
NACUBO’s record of service to individual business officers and other
administrators, to colleges and universities across the country, and to
higher education as a whole,” said Morgan R. Olsen, chair of the
organization’s board.
The National Association of
College and University Business Officers’ vision is to define excellence
in higher education business and financial management and seeks to achieve
its numerous goals, including the
national promotion of sound management and financial administration in
higher education, through a collaboration of knowledge and professional
development, advocacy, and community.
Established in 1962 and
located in Washington, D.C., NACUBO serves a membership of more than 2,200
colleges, universities, and higher education service providers nationally.
The organization represents two-thirds of the higher education
institutions in the United States.
Garibaldi also will be
named a Knight of St. Gregory the Great.
Papal honors are conferred
in recognition of one’s service to the Church, unusual
labors, and support of the Holy See, among other factors. They are
bestowed by Pope Benedict XVI.
Garibaldi will be honored at
a ceremony, presided over by Cardinal Justin Rigali, at St. Peter
Cathedral tonight, Nov. 20. During the ceremony, Garibaldi’s wife, Carol,
will be honored as a Lady of St. Gregory the Great.
Erie Bishop Donald W.
Trautman said, “You exemplify the best of who we are and what we do as
members of the Lord’s flock here in the Diocese of Erie.”
Editor’s note: The
Garibaldis were pictured in an article on local residents receiving papal
honors. The article ran on page 1 of the Faith section in the Saturday,
November 18 edition of the Erie Times-News.
